Frank please could you explain how to create rpms for el7 from fedora src.rpms?
The complexity of doing this will vary a lot with what you're trying to compile, but for userland programs like email clients, text editors, games and the like it can be very easy to do in a lot of cases.
As Johnny says, you don't really want to do this with core operating system functions since you can end up with a Frankenstein system that might not work properly any more.
In many cases (more than a few but by no means all) you can compile a Fedora rpm for Centos using the following procedure.

Frank,
Thanks very much for explaining this process. I would like to have orthanc usable for Centos 7, but the epel repos only have it for Centos 6.
I will give your outline a try!!!
